<span style="font-size: large;">It has a dual purpose it can be used as an "I spy" quilt as there are so many different sea themes going on. Pleased with the border as it did tone down the blocks of light blue. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">The fabric I have had for a long while pocket came from a dress I made in the 60's I say dress I could not believe how short it was. The rest were scraps from when I made my boys Bermuda shorts in the 80's. They choose the fabric from a great fabric shop in Manchester.

of tied by the loops I pulled the loops down all to the same level so
that it looks like a line, it changes the look of the stitch completely.</span></span></span> </span></span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: small;"> </span>I am still playing about with ideas. I hate to spend a lot of time and effort into something if I cannot find a use for it. Thought it would be okay just to learn stitches and technique, but it is not working. Really do need a theme or purpose for these blocks. I have thought about making them into bags. or cushions or covering Mums small fabric chest. Still pondering will have to decide later. I love sewing these blocks. </span></span>Pippas quiltshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02713381836492227340noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2398387638062709793.post-41202184587196086022013-09-11T23:54:00.001+01:002013-09-11T23:54:52.869+01:00wordless wednesday<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Finished chair. I sanded the woodwork and polished it with a home made mixture of beeswax mixed with sunflower oil and lavender oil. The recipe did say extra virgin olive oil but I used the last bit yesterday, so used what I had and it looks and feels wonderful. </span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">This how it closes up and takes up no room at all. Sent a photo of it to my sister and she said I should have not have used a predominately white fabric as it will get dirty, that was all she said. I like it white.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">My son goes back to Australia tomorrow evening I will take him to Gatwick Airport. He and his girlfriend have been in London all day today went up to the Carnival, still waiting for them to come home. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Wednesday I will busy myself with washing and cleaning as that is what I do when I am stressed and I will be until I get an e mail to say they are safe in Australia 24 hour journey. My house will be sparking. I may try a bit of sewing not sure what to do next.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Hope you all had a good weekend. </span></span><br />
